VAT Registration in Cambodia
Any person or company that supplies goods or provides services in Thailand with an annual turnover exceeding THB 1.8 million is subject to VAT.
It is important for any company who reaches the VAT threshold to register for VAT and satisfy the requirements to stay fully compliant with the Revenue Code. Failure to do so could result in the penalties being imposed upon the company.
How does VAT registration work in Cambodia?
Value Added Tax (VAT) registration is mandatory for any company who has a gross income of THB 300,000 or more in a single month or THB 1,800,000 or more per year.
Companies who import goods, sell goods or supply services in Thailand must register for the payment of VAT. A service is deemed to be provided in Thailand if the service is performed in Thailand. It does not matter where the service is executed or if it is used somewhere outside of Thailand.
It is important to note that some types of services are VAT exempt and there are others that are zero-rated. Businesses that are not required to register for VAT may still do so voluntarily if they wish.
The current VAT rate in Thailand is set at 7 percent.
